MODERATORS
I think that article is kind of misleading. They're not fighting pedophilia. They're using it as an excuse / instrumentalizing it to push surveillance tech.
Maybe we should just accept and embrace the change. Misuse of such control means by governments is unlikely in democratic countries such as European ones. And if things go really wrong laws can be abrogated or amended. The majority of people won't be affected and don't have anything to hide, so they don't care. We should go along and follow the tide.
It would be true if we lived in actual democracies, but we don't.
